  Create a section from the recession area to the back of the ear on both sides, and leave out the fringe. Use a zigzag parting for softness throughout the cut, and clip the hair out of way.

  In the center-back, take vertical sections and elevate the hair to 145 degrees. Use an open-shear, slicing technique to create movement.
